to know them better!

This song was written in 1945 by M. Galdieri and A. Barberis; it tells us about the nostalgia felt by the emigrant from Naples. It's a longing that joins all those who were forced to leave their land, looking for a better life; but they preserve in their heart the image of their beloved places. This song has melancholic and poetic style.
Tomorrow? - says the song main character - it's too late; he would like to leave today because he misses Naples very much. Someone told him his city has changed and just the sea is still like it was before.
In the refrain he talks about the Santa Chiara monastery, that entitles the song and it is one of the symbols of Naples. The emigrant says his heart is sad and disconsolate because every night thinks about how his city was. He also affirms in the past many women decided to become a nun for a love disappointment; they went and lived in Santa Chiara monastery. On the contrary today when women lose a lover, they find hundred to replace! Our singer says also innocent women do not exist anymore.
